How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as fun, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.?
Music tells us who we are. Music shows people’s thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Just as Mozart music is a lifestyle, rock music is also a lifestyle.?
Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music studies the emotive meanings. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world because no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.
So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.

Passage outline Detailed information
_____1_____ Shortsighted opinion: Music is only a way of entertainment, not the top choice for education.?Truth: Music education is necessary and is of ______2_____.
Main Body A way to tell who we are:Music not only reflects the social environment it came from but also express people’s thinking and values.
A way to know the world:We can’t discover and respond to our world in just one way. Science explains how nature ______3______. Music explores the emotive meanings of nature.
A way to ______4_____ with others:We use music to express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes with others. Music, ______5______ from science, tells us what it means to be human.
Conclusion Music education is necessary.
